Skincare for young skin

Skincare for teenagers: start simple

Young skin doesn’t need many products. Cleanse morning and evening, moisturise with a light cream, and use sunscreen when the sun is strong. If blemishes or shine appear, you can add a serum or a mask. That’s enough to keep skin clean, fresh and balanced. For advice for younger children, read skincare for young people before puberty.

Skin Balance: gentle care for young and sensitive skin

• Cleansing mousse: a mild, soft cleansing mousse with organic aloe vera and provitamin B5 that cleanses without drying out the skin.
• Facial toner: moisturises and evens out the skin with algae and liquorice root extract.
• Facial serum: moisturises and helps with blemishes and redness with natural algae extract.
• Face cream: fragrance-free cream with hyaluronic acid that moisturises and helps with blemishes.
• Face mist and mud mask: a quick moisture boost during the day and a deep-cleansing mask for oily skin.

Blemish-prone skin as a teenager: what can help

Hormones during the teenage years can cause more sebum, shine and spots. Cleansing gel deeply cleanses away excess oil and impurities without leaving skin feeling tight. Clay mask keeps oily skin matte and makes pores less visible, and Acne Serum with salicylic acid (a BHA acid) deeply cleanses pores. In summer, Daily Sun Shield SPF 50 is a good choice because it is ultra-light and doesn’t clog pores. See also skincare for blemish-prone skin.

Good habits from the start

The most important thing is to cleanse your skin every evening, especially after sport and wearing makeup, and to change your pillowcase regularly. Use lukewarm water and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. Oily skin needs moisture too: if you skip cream, your skin can feel tight and dry. Skin Balance face mist can be used during the day, for example, kept in your bag for school or training when your skin needs a quick moisture boost. Choose one range and give it a few weeks before switching.
